Those of you who read this post of mine the other day may be interested to know that the Straits Times chose not to publish my letter, never mind apologising for publishing inflammatory letters as I pointed out. Not that I expected any more. They would rather publish letters from, to take an example at random, someone complaining that he didn't get to participate in a lucky draw while shopping. One person's $ over the lives of thousands? Welcome to Singapore!
I'll give them this: they did publish brief letters from other cyclists but no major rebuttal of the arguments in the original letter and, of course, no explanation for why such an irrational letter was printed to begin with. One of the letter-writers told me privately that his letter was heavily edited before publishing.
The next time there is a casualty on the roads because of road rage or a plain ol' sense of entitlement, the Straits Times and Dr Terence Teoh will have blood on their hands.
